Mogiana 4-4-0 Locomotives in Brazil


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class unknown (Locobase 20851)

Data from Lionel Wiener, Les chemins de fer du Breñsil (Paris: H. Dunod et E Pinat, Editeurs, 1912), p. 115. Works numbers were 3469-3470, 3517-3520 in 1892.

NB: Tube heating surface shown in Lionel Wiener's table resulted from calculations using tube inside diameters ("fire side"); it was given as 57.9 sq m (623 sq ft). the table shows the external diameter, from which both the tube and evaporative heating surfaces in Locobase are derived.
